Are you trying to make the switch at your firm or move to a different firm? At my NYC firm you have to be in tax from the start, no one switches/rotates into the group. I'm sure it varies though. At my firm there are more people interested in doing tax than there is demand, so they can be picky.

I don't know if there is a ton of demand for tax laterals right now, especially those without experience. You could talk to a recruiter and see what they think though.

Any thoughts on this same question, but going from corporate practice group to Big 4, rather than just switching practice groups? Do Big 4 only want former tax associates, or do they also take corp associates (those who took tax classes)?
